high altitude medicine

i am given many tips to deal with the elevation of shangri-la. take prophylactic whiffs from the oxygen canister! 2 whiffs before sleep! walk slowly! drink more water! do not on any account bathe on your first day!!

in full disclosure, i take a cold-ish 3-minute shower. because.
